Prometheus is the CNCF graduated monitoring system for metrics collection, storage, and alerting. Pull-based model with PromQL for powerful queries.
Reviewer scorecard
“Unlimited log ingestion changes how you think about logging. No more deciding what to keep. Query everything.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“The pricing model is radically simpler than Datadog. Ingest everything, pay for queries and retention.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Query-on-read architecture is the future of log management. Axiom's approach makes unlimited logging practical.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
